"Charleyn Farweil as a Referee.

from the ChlcI91 Netos.
When John V. Farwell and a prominent
foundryman of this city met to square &C
counts for the IRON in the dry goods mer-
chants big building on Monroe street, a dis
pute arose as to the contract price of the iron.
The foundrgman held that the price agreed
upon was 3Ac. per pound. while the mer-
chant claimed that the contract was made on
the basis OF SIC. per pound. The difference
WAS about SIS, 600. The fonnfryman. despair
ing of convincing the merchant of his error
suggested that the dispute and ali memoranda
bearing on the question be submitted TO a
third party for final decision.
But" said Farwell, "Im afraid that the
man YOU would name would be distasteful
to me-"
Il think not" replied the foundryman: "he
is man whom you know very WELL"
"WhO is he?"
"Char.ey Farwell."
John '. looked up In SUNRISE. The propo-
sltlon to submit to a member of his own
house dispute involving SIS, coo which, if de-
ciGed against him, would prove equally dis
astrous to the referee, was bold and fair
that the OLD merchant could do nothing else
but accept it. The foundryman presented
his memoranda to Charley, who, after a
searching Investigation, decided against his
brother, his firm and himself. Ever since
that time Charley has been something of an
enigma to John V.

All furbelows and snowy skirts.

To reconnoitre for the rest.

In sweets which others share as well;

There is hardly anything relating TO ag-
ricuture that is so well established that
some one docs not raise n question about it.
Rcd-top has been considered one Of the
most valuable of grasses, especially for
pasturage; but a writer in the July num-
Der of the American Agriculturist seems to
he somewhat doubtful Of its superiority to
other grasses, and we confess having been
little skeptica about it ourselves The
writer says;
Red-top, IgroSiiS ruignris, is frequently
recommended by agricultural writers Of
wide reputc Many experienced and crit
cal farmers and stock growers put it among
the most valuable grasses. Yet it is not
grass to be recommended without reserva-
ton Its characteristics vary much in diff
fcrcnt localities. On some moist soils it is
excellent; for others it cannot be recon-
mended. Cattle will hunt out and crop
close every other grass before they will eat
it after it has become hard and wiry and
cattle in good condition put upon dry red
top pasture will lose flesh. The aversion
of the cattle increases as the grass grows
older. 1t is nutritious, but harsh and un-
palatable. While red-top takes on these
bad qualities in comparatively few local.
tics, the experience of some should warn
the farmer who has not grown the grass on
his own farm to proceed cautiously in in
it. The form it assumes in un-
favorable localities should be borne in mind
when speaking of this grass generally.

Anyone who has occasion to travel much Inv
horse and wagon between our New England
villages, knows in what disgraceful state
our country roads are often found This is
especially the case in the early spring and
after the farmers have worked outn their
road tax by converting the once passable

The curing of hay in the cock is a prac-
tee that is rapidly growing in favor. Those
who make n business of gathering and dry
ing medicinal herbs always dry them under
cover or in the shade, as the way to secure
them in the greatest perfection of preser-
walton. Grass cured in the same way
would give quality of hay now rarely or
never seen, We heard a man at an agri-
cultural meeting give his experience in
this matter. Having plenty of barn room,
he cured his hay in the barn-enough to
keep his cow-and with the most satisfac-
tory results. OF course no large farmer
who has acres of grass To cut can do this ::
but here is the principle and its practical
application to curing grass seems as vet to
he by curing in the cock Especially should
clover be cured in this way. Dried in the
sun, spread upon the ground, its leaves are
dried TO britteness and are lost in handling,
while the large, succulent stalks are vet
green and unfit for storage Curing in
cocks is subject to one loss-the coming on

imagine. Hay-caps remove this difficulty,

very careful to have your colts on the

can exercise all they please, as bone and
muscle are what we want in the horse.
Feed the colts enough grain to keep them
growing, but remember that it is enduring
qualities that are looked for in all kinds of
horses, and it is better to feed to gain that
point. Keep them constantly improving
from the day they are foaled until fully de

them for your own use, as it is poor policy
to keep too many matured horses ON hand.

The Grnss WOrId.

Oh, life is rife in the heart Of the year
When midsummer suns sail high;
And under the shadow ~ spike and spear
In the depth Of the daisy sky,
There's a life unknown to the careless glance:
And under the stiffness, an airy prance,
And slender jointed things astir
And gossamer wings IN II sunny whir-
And world Of work and dance
Soft in its throhbing, the conscious green
Demurely answers the breeze;
While down in its tanglc, in rioters sheen.
The hoppers arr bending their kners
And only Il beetle or slumbrring ant,
As he pushes the feathery spray aslant.
or the sudden dip Of Il foraging bird.
With its vibrant trail Of the clover stirred.
Discovers the secret haunt
All! the grass world dies in the autumn DAYS
When studded with sheaf and stack.
The fields lie browning in sulrn haze
And creak in the farmers track;
flushed is the tumult the daisies knew
The hidden sport of the supple crew.
And lonely and dazed in the glare Of day.
The stilf-kneed huppers refuse to play
In the stubble that mocks the blue;
For all things fear that the time is drear
When life runs low in the heart Of the year.
